Investigation revealed that two suspects entered the store in the 5100 block of River Road around 3 a.m., and placed merchandise on the counter at the cash register to pay for them. When the clerk was giving change back to one of the suspects, a second suspect lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun, and instructed the clerk to open the cash register to give them money, according to Montgomery County police.
The clerk complied and the suspect reached over the counter and grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash before both suspects ran from the store.
Two additional suspects were waiting outside as lookouts during the robbery.
The first two suspects left the store in a red four-door sedan, while the two lookouts followed in a Range Rover.
